SAP NetWeaver Administrator (Runtime and Configuration)

Feature	Type of Change	Description
RFC Connectivity	New	SAP NetWeaver Administrator now introduces the configuration of RFC connectivity. You can configure RFC connectivity settings to consumer applications and thus consume remote function modules on distant business systems over RFC destinations. More information: Preparing Communication Profiles Creating Connections to Provider Systems Creating User Accounts
SOA configuration for connectivity	Enhanced	If the configuration assignment of a Service Group failed for any reason, you can configure the Service Group manually by specifying the configuration options from a wizard. The manual configuration triggers a wizard with which you create a logical port to the consumer application or assign an RFC destination to the provider system. In addition, SOA configuration for connectivity applications now display more information about the Service Groups, connectivity types, provider systems, and the processing state of the assignment. More information: Configuring Consumer Applications Configuring the Consumer Side of Business Scenarios
Single Service Administration	Enhanced	Single Service Administrator now displays information about consumer proxies that use RFC connectivity, or have extensions, or extension points. You can preview but cannot configure these entities in Single Service Administration application. Single Service Administration application also displays information about service definitions that use local connectivity. These service definitions are created and configured with the extensibility tools (for example Composite Designer) in SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio and communicate only with AS Java systems. You cannot configure service definitions that use local connectivity in Single Services Administration application.

Web Services Navigator	Enhanced	Web Services Navigator now provides easier navigation of the operation parameters, links to reference information about the input parameters, and links to ABAP debugging tools when testing ABAP services. You can now copy and paste operation parameters data between individual elements, or for groups of elements. When providing input data, you can use the find and replace functionality. You can also use saved test data for testing services with similar interfaces, and the system imports only values for matching fields. More information: Testing Web Services in the Web Services Navigator
Connectivity Log Viewer	Enhanced	Users now can see information about incoming and outgoing Web service and RFC calls. The system collects this kind of information only when the user activates the recording of runtime calls for a specified period of time. More information: Viewing Connectivity Log
